Beer Battered Halibut 

100 grams rice flour

120 grams seasoned flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp Cattlemans grill california tri tip

(if you want some heat consider adding additional spices like cayenne)


Beer- Pabst Blue Ribbon


Halibut (or any white meat fish)


Peanut oil


Salt


1 teaspoon Baking Soda 

1 teaspoon Lemon Juice


Seasoned flour


Secrets to success-

Everything other than oil is VERY COLD. Keep beer very cold, keep fish cold, Keep batter as cold as possible without freezing


Oil temp is between 350-375


You want the fish as dry as possible. You pat dry with a lot of paper towels, salt the fish and let the salt pull some moisture out in the fridge until the flesh is firm, then pat dry again. Once firm and dry, coat with seasoned flour, and you are ready for batter and frying.


Batter- mix batter ingredients, amount of beer that you add is not the same every time, I've found that a thinner batter is better for a crispy skin. Stil beer in to batter mix until desired thickness is reached, then stick in freezer to keep cold until ready. 


Once ready, pull batter out, last secret step is to add baking soda and lemon juice and stir into the batter and allow reaction to occur and bubbles to form throughout batter. Then dip fish into batter, coating all sides, and into 350 degree oil for about 2 minutes. You can stick a thermometer in and pull out at 140 degrees or earlier pull out of oil and rest on paper towel and salt



Fries

Idaho potatoes work great

Cut into desired thickness

Boil in salted water until potatoes are soft enough for a fork to slide into them with little resistance but firm enough for the fry to keep its shape. Pull out of hot water and dry off, heat up peanut oil to 375 degrees, cook fries in small batches for 2 minutes each, allowing the oil to heat back up to 375 in between batches. And then the final cook again at 375 degrees until fries are golden brown, take out and place on paper towels, and add desired seasonings.


Keys- allow oil to heat back up between batches of fries, and a high temperature of oil will allow the fries to get crispy and not soak up the il from being in the oil for too long




Seasoned flour


8 cups of flour

⅛ cup pepper

⅛ cup salt

⅛ cup accent

⅛ cup garlic salt

⅛ cup paprika

⅛ cup sage


Kokanee Salmon

Alder pellets/ wood chips

Kokanee fillets skin on pin bones removed if you are on top of it


Brine- 

1 gallon of water

½ cup kosher salt

½ cup honey

1 tbsp tarragon

1 tsp garlic powder


Mix with ice, and submerge salmon in brine in fridge overnight.


Remove from brine, rinse in cold water, pat dry with paper towels and place on drying racks sprayed with non stick oil. allow to sit on counter until flesh becomes tacky to the touch. Once tacky to touch (Pellicle has formed) 

Place on smoker at lowest smoke setting (usually around 160 degrees) in alder smoke for roughly 3 hours, this should put internal temperature between 120 and 140 degrees. 

VERY IMPORTANT- at 120 degrees, you want to glaze the salmon, the glaze is 50/50 mixture of honey and brown sugar heated up in microwave and brushed on salmon. At this point you want the remainder of the cook to be out of the smoke so finish in the oven at a temp of 200 degrees, until internal temp of Salmon at thickest point is 135 degrees. Pull out of heat and tent with foil until served.



Sauteed Mushrooms

Crimini Mushrooms

Smoke with pecan or 50/50 pecan and cherry at 250 degrees until brisket color and bark is to desired appearance. Temperature does not matter at this point only appearance.

Pork Ribs-

Baby back/ loin back ribs preferred

Onera

Salt 

Pepper

Brown Sugar

Honey

Hickory, cherry, or pecan pellets

Sriracha

Mustard


Remove membrane from back or ribs, rub with mustard and sriracha for binder, and season with salt, pepper, and onera

Place on smoker at 250 degrees and wait until outside color is desired appearance. Should be slight pull back of bones, slight mahogany color, not worried about temperature. This is usually 2-3 hours in smoke. 

Once appearance is reached, remove and place in double wrap of tin foil, tob side down, on bottom side coat with honey and brown sugar. Wrap foil as tight as possible so you don't steam the bark away. Check every 30 minutes for tenderness. To determine doneness, pull on bones and if you are able to pull away and they will rip free with little effort, they are done. Remove, may be served with sauce or dry, if sauce, brush on and place back in smoke until sauce is tacky. Make sure to wait to cut into ribs until rested for 20 plus minutes.
